re: Toledo bend

If you are putting in on TX side just above dam the TX islands (at least what we call them) about a mile and a 1/2 above the dam before 6 mile has alot of grass. They are "ON" pretty much everywhere. Was uo there 2 weeks ago and hammered em schooling the forst couple of hours shallow around grass then moved off to the deeper grass 6-12 ft with submerged grass with light weighted plastics and crank baits. took a while to figure out but they seemed to like a fast retrieve then stop the cb but the weather and water temp has changed a ton in 2 weeks. I dont think you have to go far from anywhere down south to get into them. find the grass and they will be there, find a creek in the grass and hold on!!!! as far as navigating BE CAREFUL!!!! is an understatement. we saw numerous stumps about 6-12 inches out of the water in the red/greens on the LA side and the lake is probably 6 inches lower. most of the sexas side down there is the river channel but those bouys were way out of place in may/june the last time i went down to 6 mile/housen so i wouldnt rely on bouy placement to guide you. good luck and be careful
